[THIN] Re: /3GB or /PAE

Hi,

More than a performance hit. The /3GB switch reduces the paged pool
size quite significantly. This doesn't matter on a SQL or Exchange
server where you're not running too many processes, but on a terminal
server you'll be playing with fire.

As adam wrote, the /PAE does have a siginificant performance hit,
particularly if your system does signficant paging.

The 64-bit compatible version of Presentation Server will be out in
1-2 months, or if you want to have a play the Technical Release is
available for download right now.

If you've got new systems (just about anyone but Dell) then it's
highly likely that the Intel Xeon will be an EM64T chip which is
64-bit capable.

Then your only memory problem will be how much can you cram into the box?

regards,

Rick
